qua county heiress, who was stopping
with her family at such hotel as has

Her espionage never slept, though
the chains she bound about her
charge were silken ones. Her eyes

she discovered the secret by watching
Ida's actions. She noticed that the
young Lady dwadled an uncomfortable
time over the soup with the French
designation, and she noticed also that
she 0hs duenna) never received the
same kind of soup that was served to
her charge. Suspicion was aroused.
Gould it be that Miss Idas soup was
made of some potent love charm? She
would watch. She took occasion to
move her chair to Idas side. and made
discovery that almost paralyzed her
virgin heart. The little particles in
Ida's soup we're letters of the alphabet,

Tho Worlds Geyser-Regions.

In the number of springs and noted
geysers, the Yellowstone National Park
and New Zealand far exceed Iceland,
in which "The Great Geyser" and
Strokhr are the only two prominent
spouters. As to the nlmber of springs
in New Zealand, there are no definite
data, but they appear to be numerous.
In the Yellowstone Park. over two
thousand springs have been enumerated
and mapped, and among them are sew
enty-one geysers, of which twenty are
known to spout to height OF not less
than fifty feet. OF course, in each OF
the three countries there are hot springs
outside of the areas as here indicated;
and, il these are taken into account,
the American localities will exceed the
others, especially il the California and
Nevada springs are counted. Hswey-
er, leaving the latter out oil
count, we find that in the adjacent
country both north and south q the
park there arc springs on the same
north and south line with the geyser-
basins Of Firehols River; and II they
are considered as part Of the same
system, the length Of the line Of ther.
NAL activity is about two hundred
miles.
As 10 the heights TO which the gey.
sers throw the columns OF water, there
is probably but little difference DO.

Great Britain still holds first place

Bidders ( r the State Printing.


In compliance with the law for doing
the State Printing for the session of 1888,
Spencer g. Jones, Clerk of the Court of
Appeals. proceeded at the hours of IL
o'clock to day to open the bids in the pres
ence of the bidders in the consultation
room of the Court of Appeals The bids
ard bidders were as follows
John Murphy s. Co., Baltimore, for the
lump printing, bid $11 900 James Young.
s6,940; Ridgley & Melvin. 81, 450;-
Thomas, Evans & Co., 1890; Geo. T..
Melvin, $4,000. The bids for the extra
printing ranged from 81 .40to $500 per oc-
tavo page, for the first 1000. and from
So so to 81 so for tabular work for the
additional 1000 copies the prices ranged
from $1.O0 to $500 The highest bidder
for the extra printing was Mr.. Young,
end the lowest on the extra work is claim
ed by Mr.. Melvin, which is based upon
the average of all the bids The Clerk
said it would take him some time to ex
anime into the several bidf before he
could award the contract, and that be
would award it to the lowest responsible
bidder. The object of the law being to
save legislative expense, it is necessary to
consider both branches of the bid-the
lump bid and the bid per page. The law
contemplates this BY requiring both forms
of bidding.
